When it comes to congress and the graft that is Ukraine, nothing should come as a surprise. Last month, the Biden administration asked Congress for another $37.7 billion in support for Ukraine. If that passes, and it certainly will, Congress will have approved more than $100 billion in Ukraine-related spending.
To wit, yesterday congress slipped Ukraine Debt Payment Relief, into the 4,400 page National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) which will make the Senate happy as the intent of the upper chamber is to continue the laundry operation.
(Via Fox News) – The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for fiscal year 2023 passed the House Thursday afternoon in a 350-80 vote. Included in that 4,400-page bill is a section on “Ukraine Debt Payment Relief.”
That section says the U.S. treasury secretary will instruct U.S. representatives of international financial institutions to “use the voice, vote, and influence of the United States to advocate that the respective institution immediately provide appropriate debt service relief to Ukraine.”
It instructs Treasury to commence “immediate efforts” with other governments and commercial creditors to “pursue comprehensive debt payment relief for Ukraine.”
The language talks only about debt payment relief, and not forgiveness of the assistance given to Ukraine this year to defend itself from to Russia’s invasion. (read more)

It really is tragic as Gonzalo says, especially when you realize that the psychopaths planned this war a long time ago. An interview with Arestovich, dated 2019, in case you haven’t seen. Three years before it started for real.
And people like him knowingly keep sending their own men into the meat grinder.
time mark 7:43 “…our price for joining NATO is a full-scale war with Russia.”
Looks like it.
Tell him to be sure he strikes WASHINGTON DC on the NOSE. I’d be glad to mention a few other specific places as well, Just to make it interesting.
This is nuttier than “The One” starring Jet Li: A rogue Multiverse agent goes on a manhunt for alternate versions of himself, getting stronger with each kill. Only the last version of himself, an LASD cop, can stop his crusade before he becomes “The One”
My son watched that as a child and when I caught him at it, having never heard of it before catching him watch that piece of Vile garbage….
GOOD GRAVY!!!
All these people are playing pattycake in the Bottom of the Pit of Abaddon.
When I think of what God is allowing, NOW, I cannot help wondering what the YOU-KNOW-WHAT that the people and the demons were all doing in the Days of Noah.
Not that I necessarily trust Putin, but I definitely don’t trust the AP.
I just read that the Times is claiming that the Pentagon has given the green light to Ukrainian drone strikes in Russia because they have become less worried about Russia retaliating.

High risk games now being played by the denizens of the Five-Sided Wastebasket.
IMESHO, the biggest waste in that ‘wastebasket” is integrity, money, and intellect.
Sounds like the Times.
Seems https://sonar21.com/ (Larry Johnson’s blog is a pretty good source of info on Ukraine & their war.
They are flipping their middle fingers at the American taxpayer.
Why not? They no longer fear “elections”. In fact, it’s hilarious. They openly rig them, refuse to allow evidence of fraud to be addressed in courts, hold more “elections”, and people ACTUALLY VOTE in them!!!
Something has to Bust Wide Open. this mess cannot be contained. All of this “Heebie Jeebie, Mumbo Jumbo” and shuffling in and out and all around Shuffling and reshuffing all the players and their impersonators and actors and skits and Green Screens, and now they are back to more “outer space alien stories” again and enough hundreds of weird plots all rolled into one Bizarrio Haunted House House of Mirrors Frankenstein Castle full of the Mill of Stone Women and Children….
HEAVEN, HELP US ALL!!!!
That sums it up.
Rick Scott met with OUN-B, mostly Azov, along with what we now know to be at least 50 lawmakers in September. I have been reporting my R Senator along with Ernst and Collins met with 4 women including Adriana Susak from Right Sector. These people were brought into speak at The Ukrainian American Congress’ annual gathering at the Ukrainian American Cultural Center of New Jersey (UACCNJ) in Whippany. They then met lawmakers and DoD in DC. There is a huge, and I mean huge, conference and camp for children held every year by the OUN-B. Adam Schiff had them gathering on the Congressional floor to mingle with “lost limb” Nazis. Kateryna Prokopenko left early because her high ranking husband was just released by the Russians after being captured in Mariouple.
I should add Viktor Pinchuk is a huge Schiff and DNC, Hillary, donor.
The funding should surprise nobody. The goal is to defeat Russia and overthrow Putin. Russian people need to be cleansed. The American people are funding the effort. Nuland just spent the night in Kiev.
Oh dear Lord! The slush fund and money laundering is worse than we thought.
This guy is not Christian, either.
Putin can supply the crazy mullahs in Iran with nukes. The US has signaled the world that we are weak and leaderless. The Communists within have made us vulnerable to our enemies.
Well, of course! They want us dead. They have overthrown and are in control of the US, and are at war with the US population. All white European Christians are slated for genocide.
Well, they’ll be fair– they’ll have the chance to convert or live as dhimmis….same as in the sharia-run areas of this region (once the nation-states are done away with.)
Remember when Trump couldn’t get $20 billion for the wall?
Priorities, I guess.
Audit Ukraine funds and you will find our elites and their family members getting richer with every appropriation.
That’s why Pelosi and other politicians ran over to Ukraine to make sure their money keeps coming.
She didn’t want to give him the number to her Swiss bank account over the phone.
Audit? What’s that? The Pentagon has failed “Audits” for how many years…..how many missing millions?
The useless Fed has never been audited. Hmmm. I wonder why?
so true..except, everyone’e elites, since there are no “ours” and “theirs” anymore….
Crooks have to keep that money flowing. To them stolen money always feels better than earned money.
Great news for our 51st state, the Ukraine. How much of this money is filtering back to the corrupt politicians in our government?
Plenty, Sweetheart!
10% to dirty old joe… 50% to our congress….. 30 % to assorted banks and businesses…… 5% to the clinton fund….. 3% to assorted government schemers…. 1% cash 0n hand….1% to Ukraine
would be nice, but no…

Want to know what is worse? There is nothing we do NOT pay? We support the entire country of Ukraine— food — agriculture, energy — electric grid; commerce, workers’ salaries—
It’s all here — even the Hill is blase’ about printing it– no big deal….the corruption is that great now. Read it and weep:
https://thehill.com/policy/finance/3469118-heres-where-us-money-is-flowing-in-ukraine/
(and they DO mean “flowing”— or maybe “rushing” is a better word.)
Now. Consider how much THAT costs and then consider how much the kick-backs coming back HERE costs, and you know the there-is-n0-word-for-it gigantic amounts they are stealing from the American tax-payer. It is plain and simply looting the treasury before the country is dismantled completely.
except states have state taxes….we pay ALL Ukraine’s expenses, official pensions and all!
The purpose of the Ukrainian War is to for Russia, extend its physical border for defense and control some energy sources.
The purpose for US is to support Ukraine and keep them in the fight is to weaken the country leading the world off US dollar reserve system. If this measure by Russia is successful, it won’t be long before US citizens look at their government as SBF’s.
And the politicians can’t have that.
And it’s really this simple.
Anybody looking into other reasons without recognizing the big picture is not worth reading.
The occupying agents would rather have us nuked than lose power, in fact, the demonic NWO basically wants God’s creation destroyed, so they are fine with it. Oh, I heard that DC is pretty much empty most of the time. These agents pretending to be “government” want to be close to their hidey-holes when SHTF.
The “Spineless weasels” are communists, too. Wolves in sheep’s clothing.
Our Congress is literally stealing our tax dollars, sending billions over to Ukraine to be laundered and mostly sent back to these evil monsters for More of their treacherous and traitorous endeavors. But yet…they raised holy you know what when Trump tried to get money to build the wall to protect our border. With everything else that has happened over the last few years especially, although it’s been going on for a very long time; if you haven’t figured out what they are doing and why, then you are failing in the moment! We are at war with this government…and they are the ones that brought this on. And they continue to flip us the bird!
Something is coming……
I have felt this for a very long time and have spoken to others who feel the same thing. It’s as though they know, can not do anything about it, and if the general public knew would create so much world wide panic that there would be no way to control the situation. Is it? All theater to keep us distracted from the really BIG picture? Something maybe even celestial?
There IS something else and I never see reference to it here, the media, papers, etc. Nope! Gotta dig deeper causeb they do not want us to know!
More proof the DoD and whole government is systemically broken…
Let’s quit pretending that this can be course corrected FFS and look towards real, workable solutions.
4,400 pages. Says all anyone needs to know.
Asking for Larry Fink: Is this debt relief commensurate with ESG progress being made in Ukraine?
Swamp: a disgusting, oozing mess that stinks. THIS is NOT leadership! MAD, Mutually Assured Destruction. And somehow global warming is an issue???
Someone please PUSH THE BUTTON ON THESE CROOKS
The group photo with Zylynsky says it all . It’s the assembly of the SCREW AMERICA AND AMERICAN CITIZENS FIRST delegation from the inside the DC BELTWAY parasites.
Can’t close our border , can’t bail out retirement funds or social security can’t protect American industry as the tax base but wow can this group of assholes print money out of thin air and piss it away !
“Relief to Ukraine”. Yeah, FTX illustrated how that works. Taxpayers indebted without representation (because of rigged “elections”, and “Ukraine” sends the laundered loot back to US pols and commie fronts.
PURGE All TRAITORS
Maybe I’m just stupid…but we hear that term ‘debt relief” so much in so many different ways…is this supposed to mean that we, the US gov (well, that’s not “we,” but…) are now responsible for all Ukraine debt from now until forever? I’m not sure what this is referring to. Will check back for always knowledgeable CTHers to help me out with this.
(Usually, the way it’s used as in “debt relief bill,” meaning congress and the media is lying to us that this bill will provide some relief from the debt, which always means they’re actually spending more money this year which wouldn’t make any sense in the Ukranian context— not that it makes sense in the U.S. context, either.)
There is only one reason I can think of, as to why we are financing a proxy war in Ukraine. It has to be part of the plans the Globalist Cabal has for the rest of us. Ukraine is being run by a mouthy actor, Zelenskyy, who poses as the great reformer of the European Theater. He believes in all of the diktats of the Globalists, and he is helping all he can with the destruction of the Western market economies. Putin, on the other hand is a dictator who is getting rich and powerful by pretending to emulate Western market economies. But he has no intention of giving up his authority to the Globalist Cabal when it comes to which markets he will profit from.
Thus, the US Oil & Gas Industry and all of its fellow travelers around the world are being shut down. The method being used against the Russian Oil Industry is destruction by the only means available to the Globalist Cabal. War with a neighboring country to Russia. Zelenskyy extorts money from the US because he has already compromised Joe Biden’s criminal family, who always try to make easy money off of foreign Governments in exchange for access to the actual US power structure, our Government full of Bureaucratic leeches.
While all this has been going on for at least 35 years, Americans have merrily played with their newest tech toys and continue to vote for whomever promises them more free shit. We will never catch up to these guys at this stage with strategy planning. But, we still grossly outnumber the Globalist Cabal, as long as we can restore free and fair elections.
We had better start paying more attention to who wants us to live our own lives and forget about more shiny new free shit. Nothing is ever free. But a free and fair marketplace has already proven it would be a great start.
Biden’s education loan write-off amounts to more than $400 billion. Why shouldn’t the US spend at least as much seriously degrading the armed forces of one of our most lethal adversaries? If Ukraine (with a chunk of our money) defeats Putin, then Europe and the West is a safer place going forward. It might even result in Russia becoming an actual democracy, instead of in-name-only.
Zelensky is a tyrant as bad as Putin and he is sucking us dry. This is Biden’s war and the military-
industrial complex’s life blood. ‘Twill never change.
Sincere thanks to Sundance for the accurate update on Ukraine. IMESHO, it is unbelievable how the corruption has engulfed so many people and countries.
